MNS 2009 MLA Election Manifesto states "The Maharashtra NavNirman Sena will strive incessantly to ensure that every single employment opportunity available in the public, private, organised as well as unorganised sector will go to the local Maharashtrian. Law and regulations already exist for this purpose; we will keep a careful eye on their enforcement." This is an unconstitutional declaration as assessed by MumbaiVotes's Civics and Politics Expert. There is no legistation ensuring 100% jobs only for locals. The declaration is not consistent with the Constitution of India.

MNS 2009 MLA Election Manifesto states "Unauthorised and illegal construction will not be tolerated in any case. Maharashtra NavNirman Sena will pressurise the government to invoke the law that deals with illegal migrants to send them back to their respective States." This is an unconstitutional declaration as assessed by MumbaiVotes's Civics and Politics Expert. The Constitution of India does not define anything such as "illegal migrants" from "other states". It does not warrant the need for any "visa" in this country to go from one state to the other. There is a deliberate attempt to confuse between "unauthorised and illegal construction" and "illegal migration" - earlier one can and should be curbed by law, latter cannot and should not. The declaration is not consistent with the Constitution of India.
